Sigh ...

I discovered today that there are many people who do not know this song. Which is a tragedy, as it is truly an anthem for our times. In the face of the all fairly grim men battling to run Britain, the monkeys at BP, the Rudd govt's ETS backflip and no doubt thousands of other short sighted and moronic decisions made by elected officials and non-elected CEOs this month, and with a special tip of the hat to Greece where the average person was apparently shocked to discover that rampant corruption and tax evasion is bad for an economy, I give you Jarvis Cocker's finest hour. Warning: contains one rude word, a lot.

Sigh, indeed.

Jarvis is always at his best when he's angry IMO (I Spy, This is Hardcore, Cocaine Socialism), and this is my favourite of his solo tracks. So I'm just going to watch the video and try and forget about the outside world for a few minutes.

Heh! Mr Brammers is not alone in never having seen this before. I thought I was quite a fan of Pulp, but I've never heard of this one before. Possibly it has slipped under my radar due to its overuse of the one swearword that squicks me :D

Though I have to say I prefer my celebrities with a little less political commentary. Mooning MJ at the Brits remains Jarvis' finest hour in my book *g*

"with a special tip of the hat to Greece where the average person was apparently shocked to discover that rampant corruption and tax evasion is bad for an economy" LOL. Sorry. My country happens to be among the European countries who have the great honour of financing Greece. Even though we are well aware that the option would be even worse some people are not that pleased. The economical situation is pretty bad. A lot of unemployed people etc.
